Cymbidium Aart's Dream 'Kurringal' (Cym. floribundum × Cym. Ngaire)

Cymbidium Aart's Dream 'Kurringal' is a miniature mericlone Cymbidium hybrid bred from Cym. floribundum (syn. pumilum) — a compact Chinese species with dark-lipped, autumn-flowering habit — crossed with Cym. Ngaire, registered by P.J. Hockey. The floribundum influence is clear in the deep burgundy lip and autumn season; 'Kurringal' is a named cultivar valued for its warm salmon-peach colouring, floriferous cascading presentation, and reliable autumn performance.

What to expect

• Flowering: Autumn to early winter. Cascading spikes carrying 8–12 flowers, holding for six to eight weeks under good conditions.
• Flowers: Warm salmon-peach petals and sepals with a soft pink midrib stripe on each tepal. Lip deep burgundy-red with white, lightly fringed margins. As a mericlone, flowers are consistent with the images shown.
• Plant: Compact miniature size. Supplied in a 66mm pot as an established growing plant.

Growing notes

• Temperature: Cool to intermediate. Well-suited to southern Australian conditions. Requires cool nights through late summer and autumn to initiate spiking.
• Light: Bright filtered light. 30–50% shade cloth or dappled outdoor shade. Avoid direct midday sun.
• Water: Water freely during spring and summer growth. Reduce frequency in winter while keeping the medium just moist.
• Feeding: Balanced liquid fertiliser fortnightly during the growing season. Switch to a low-nitrogen formula from midsummer onward. Taper off through late autumn and winter.
